Guinness World Record: 14,167 Clay Targets Shot by 5-Person Team within 12-Hour Time Frame
Well, it turns out there is a Guinness World Record for most clay targets shot within 12 hours by a 5-person team. And a team lead by the CZ-USA pro shooter Dave Miller (a.k.a. Clay Killer Miller) just recently broke the old record and set a new one. I learned about it from the Aguila Ammunition press release which you can read below.
LENEXA, KANSAS – October 18th, 2019 – Congratulations on an incredible feat! On October 12, 2019, Aguila Ammunition pro-shooter and CZ-USA Shotgun Product and Special Event Manager Dave Miller and his team, set a new Guinness World record for most sporting clays shot in a 12-hour time frame by a 5-person team.The original Guinness record for most sporting clays shot in 12 hours by a 5-person team was 4,602 targets. The team blew that record away in just 4 hours and 16 minutes. They continued to set a new Guinness World record by shooting 14,167 targets in 12 hours!
“Thanks to Aguila Ammunition for providing a premium quality shot shell,” says Miller. “My team and I fired 20,425 of their 12-gauge 1oz 1,275fps target loads over the 12-hour period and had zero misfires. This is a true testament to the quality of their products, now they can officially say they have a world record setting shot shell”.
The 5-Person team consisted of:
Dave Miller – Aguila Ammunition pro-shooter and CZ-USA Shotgun Product and Special Event ManagerJessica Strasser – Waterford, Wisconsin
Levi Henrichs – Sibley, Iowa
Makayla Scott – White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
Weston Zolck – Herman, Nebraska
The four youth shooters were selected based on an essay they wrote to CZ-USA and had previously participated in a competitive shotgun shooting qualifier event.
Aguila Ammunition was proud to be one of the sponsors for the event.
Probably the most known shotgun trick shooters and record-setters are Gould Brothers. I wonder what results they could achieve if they teamed up with three other exhibition shooters and attempted to break this record.
Let us know in the comments section what gun-related Guinness World Records would you like to see.

Is this what midwest farmers do with all that subsidy money? I know if I had that govt welfare money rolling in I would have plenty of time to practice my clay shooting skills too.
This is actually really impressive. Wish they would have live streamed it. Most I've ever done in one sitting is one box of clays (135 clay box) , and I was definitely feeling it the next day. These folks did about 30 boxes EACH in one day. Press release says they went through 20,425 rounds of 12 gauge and hit 14,167 targets, so they're averaging 4,000 rounds each and getting a 70% hit rate. More ammo manufacturers should spend their advertising budgets on events like this.
